Ancient Chariot Among Eye-Popping Artifacts Found In Elaborate Tomb

An opulent tomb made for ancient royalty has been unearthed in France's Champagne region, along with a trove of eye-popping artifacts that include elaborate pottery, a sheathed knife, and a chariot, Live Science reported. And yes, human remains were found inside.

The 130-foot wide burial site, which was found near Lavau in October, dates back to the early 5th Century B.C. In addition to the remains of the prince and the artifacts, the remains of an unknown woman were also found, The Telegraph reported.

"We know this tomb was built before that of the prince, but there could well be family links between these two figures," Bastien Dubuis, another archaeologist at the institute, told The Telegraph.
